ASCP Provence Armoire

A few months back I found this wonderful brown armoire with ornate carving and flowers. I refinished it with Louis Blue Chalk Paint, dry brushed Old White over it, added a little dark wax and... tah-dah! It sold in a matter of minutes on Etsy. I have since kept it in my Etsy shop for examples of custom painting. I have received TONS of messages with customers saying they want one exactly like it. I wish I could find that armoire again. Finally, I managed to find one with similar shape and size.

A wonderful client scooped it right up for custom painting. She had a great idea and wanted to swap the Lois Blue color for Annie Sloan Provence. I think it was a great call. It looks beautiful. It is painted with Provence and has a light Old White wash with moderate distressing. This piece is still due for a little dark wax for the finishing touch before I ship it to it's new home.

Beautiful! I love the old white (wash)! That is something I have yet to try with the chalk paint! Thank you for the inspiration! I will be pinning this to my "Paint it Annie!" Pinterest board! I am a new follower too!Best Wishes and Blessings,Amanda

That color is delicious. You have some lucky customers! I have yet to try chalk paint but this is making me want to pull the trigger and go for it! Thanks for linking up to Refresh Your Nest Friday over on Making Lemonade. ;-)
